Not yet, I've convinced two friends we should buy a kart between us.

1st Kart Tonykart 125 shifter for 3years, Honda CR 125, kart was stolen in 2000. this was before ICC engines
2000 started in the Rotax RMC, Birel chassic, Rotax FR125
Car crash in 2005 ended my karting, everything went up for sale in 2007

it's not a yes, nor is it a no...

i used to drive karts professionally here in Brazil

if master evo says so, i voted yes! :D

hhmmm interesting! where do you live?

got it...
im having my vacation by the end of november, thats why i asked, i could visit you and bring you that engine you want! :D

but you wont wait until november, right?! hahahah

KZ2 (Energy/VM)

Dabble with a Rotax occasionally too, to help the other drivers in my team.

it's better if you buy 'em there... it's gonna be mega expensive if you're buying from here!
things here are too expensive!!! way over the 2.8k bucks (me's lol)
it would be something like a 3.5 to 4k a new one... you can have a cheaper one (like a VERY used engine) for about 2.5k! :(

great shots! very nice track... where's that tuck in action that i saw in the other thread?! lol

Me in my prime.

wwe dont have them here. its alright ill survive without it.  I Went the track sunday and raced with Rotax senior (i was in a KT100).  it was soooo bad.  The seocnd race they merged senior, junior and me at the back because i was the only one with KT100.  I passed two junior rotax but then the little punks passed me on the straights.  One had a mechanical issue and the other spun off.  Passed him with one lap left.  So i finished 2nd to last.  Sucess for Yamaha. Btw this a very fast track, the yamaha can only keep pace in the tight sections

nice pictures mate, i have a junior rotax and they are quite fast considering they have no power valve, my junior trounces seniors where i go out of the corners they lag and bog down to much where as the juniors are ready and are fast straight out. also do you every time you go racing have to take your kart of that simulation jig thingy or is it a another kart?

This was the T A G senor class, I was using a Birel chassis / Rotax, the class was split, but most were on the Leopard. a few easykarts, but they were all slow.
yes, this is one of the most intense races ever, as you said, huge bumps, blind corners,
you never know who is sideways in the middle of the track when you come around the corner at 55 mph.
you really have to pay attention to the corner workers, and watch for the yellow flags, as your reaching 80+ at the end of the straight.
the year before 2003,  i started last, due to a DQ in qualy in the fuel test, Red line mixture was not allowed that year.  DUH.  I qualified 2nd
After a huge crash in T1 at the start, they red flagged the race and had a restart, i worked my way to 3rd before crashing on the last lap to finish 6th.

Rock Island  for the festival, and 1 big party.
the best place to meet and hang out with all the drivers in 1 place during the whole weekend.
but for track, it's really hard. the toughest track i have been to is the Xplex in Las Vegas. no longer there from what i hear.
2 major sweepers pulling over 3 G's a real neck stretcher. I wish i have had the chance to do some driving in the UK,
as they have some really nice and historical karting tracks. but my favorite track is US Air Motor Speedway in Shawano, Wisconsin.
a few laps around the track and you will see why... this track needs to be made for sim racing.
